It costs too much! The set up itself is not very sturdy. Fred in NY is working on a devise which looks really good. I already got the indexing wheel which was done very well and precise. Or the small Legacy is a good machine for a better cost than the Beall.If you order it at one of the woodworking shows it usually has a substantial discount. You do need to get a laninate trimmer for the small legacy. I tried one out at the show but decided against it only because I did not feel like spending all of that money just to make spirals etc.. If I get anything I will get what Fred is making over any of them!Originally posted by fritzmccorkle
<br />does it have to be used with a dremel?

<br />Hae you looked at the Legacy mill? They make one that is small for working on pens. It uses a laminate trimmer. Take a look at:

<br />Fred is listening ! There are a couple more improvements on the original design. I will not stop until I have a product that I am real happy with.
Looking forward to a review! What pitches does it do? I think there are 6 right and 6 left. Did you also get the Guilloche accessory?Originally posted by fritzmccorkle
<br />i had not noticed that this thread had gotten new info. i bought the lathe wizard that a friend had offered. can't wait to give it a try. fortunately i have s spare lathe i can keep it on.
